In other news, the National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) has announced a postponement of its plan to implement a 30 percent cap on the share of transactions that any individual app can have within the Unified Payments Interface (UPI). This development comes as a significant relief to PhonePe, which is backed by Walmart, and Google Pay, both of which collectively account for 85 percent of UPI transactions.
The cap was designed to prevent major technology companies from monopolizing the digital payment landscape in the country. The new deadline for the implementation has now been extended to December 31, 2026.
